About India’s Mining Sector
India is endowed with large mineral resources, producing 86 types of minerals with over 2000 mines across India. The
public sector accounts for 66.51% of the total value of mineral production; however, most of these resources are under–
explored and require state-of-the-art technologies. Ontario has the knowledge and assets to advance the Indian
industry to help meet the demand of the high manufacturing growth rate.
Minerals
By product class, coal accounts for 50% of Indian mining sector, followed by iron ore (22%) and limestone (20%)
Platinum group of elements (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os & Ru) have witnessed sudden increase in demand in recent years.

• India rates amongst the top 10 producers in the world for mica; barite, chromium, talc, bauxite, coal, iron ore, Kyanite,
manganese ore, steel, zinc, and aluminum.
